Kent forgets to breathe as he sees her, her back to him in a little black dress, her hair falling over her shoulders in lazy red curls, standing on her toes in a pair of bedroom slippers – of all damn things – as she strokes the forehead of her horse – Heathcliff, her god…

Gasping, I pull my face from Kent’s and snap my gaze to the door where – “JANEEN!” I shriek, scrambling suddenly to get out of Kent’s lap – Even though seconds ago I would have said that nothing could tear me away – But my sister – here on the ship! Does it mean –…

I smirk when I feel Kent check his step just a little before entering the ship’s very tiny dining room. Honestly, I think it’s just a room that they put a table in where we could eat separately from the crew – this ship isn’t really accustomed to taking passengers; even the cabins we’re staying…

“Last to board,” the sailor says in a heavy accent that Kent can’t quite place, nodding harshly after Kent steps onto the deck. The sailor closes the gate, pressing a button that detaches the staircase. “No one else. We sail now, immediate.” Then he points down the line of the deck. When Kent follows his…

Can people still refer to you as baby when you’re a murderer? When you’ve killed your father and stolen the life he’s built? When you’ve got about twenty more felonies planned for your afternoon? Well. I guess we’ll find out. I roll my window down and casually toss the phone out of the car, where…

Jerome wasn’t kidding when he said they had hours of hard riding ahead. As the afternoon starts to wane, Kent’s body aches with having to use the unfamiliar muscles needed for riding, especially after two months of relative inactivity in the jail. That, combined with sleepless nights, the chafe of metal at his wrists and…

My father, his eyes going wide with fear as he realizes that this is very, very real. Frantic, he starts to look around for his phone, but I just take a deep breath, letting him figure out that it’s gone. Because of course Daniel snatched it earlier, when my father was busy stuffing his face…
